I Can’t Believe I Ate The Whole Thing
By Administrator | April 5, 2006
Some of you may remember the old commercial for some stomach remedy where a person commented “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing” while holding their poor distended stomach. While I didn’t eat my whole dinner last night, I did eat so much that I’m still feeling the aftereffects of a sore stomach, bloating, and a slight case of nausea. I can never figure out why I do this to myself after I’ve gone on an eating binge; my only thought is that I have a real problem with the on/off switch in myself that’s supposed to let me know that I’m nearly full and that I need to stop eating.
My dinner last night consisted of a wonderful chicken/rice dinner at a local Mexican restaurant, accompanied by a virgin strawberry daiquiri. The food, atmosphere, and companionship of my husband made for a nice evening out, but I could really do without the aftereffects that have carried over to this morning.
I’m posting this in the hope that I can look back in the future and recreate this horrible sick feeling so that I can prevent myself from overeating this way. The amount of calories I took in doesn’t even worry me right now - I just don’t like feeling this way and I have a tendency to do this much too often. I can remember many holiday meals stretching all the way back to childhood where I’ve eaten to the point where I just locked myself away in the bathroom hoping to throw up some of a wonderful meal in order to relieve my stomach pain.
Today I’m going to eat very carefully and try to clear some of this food out of my system. I’m taking my usual 64oz bottle of water to work and I’m going to have Slim Fast shakes for breakfast and lunch, but I’m not having my breakfast shake until my stomach feels ready. Right now, I can’t even face the thought of eating anything, though I’ll have to have a little milk to wash down my morning medication.
Ugh!
